In accordance with Governor Brad Little’s Executive Order 2020-01: Zero-Based Regulation (ZBR), the Industrial Commission will reduce regulatory burdens by removing costly, ineffective, or outdated regulations.
Currently, the Industrial Commission is reexamining the Idaho Workers’ Compensation Administrative Rules: IDAPA 17.01.01 – Administrative Rules Under the Worker’s Compensation Law.

Members of the public may participate in person or virtually via Webex. The Industrial Commission will provide live streaming of the negotiated rulemaking meetings at designated locations.
Following the conclusion of negotiated rulemaking meetings, the Industrial Commission will hold two public hearings, tentatively scheduled for October 7 and 24, 2024, at the Industrial Commission 11321 W. Chinden Blvd. Building #2, Boise, ID 83714, to receive final public testimony and comments.

Idaho Industrial Commission Rules Reauthorization Guidance
The Idaho Legislature did not renew the existing administrative rules at the end of the 2019 Legislative session. In April, the Governor’s Office directed the Industrial Commission to take the necessary steps to minimize the impact of the rules expiring. In January, the Governor signed the Red Tape Reduction Act, requiring agencies to cut down on rule sections to make the chapters as simple as possible. To meet the direction of the Governor, the Commission will bring forward rule chapter revisions for when the rules expire on July 1st. These revisions will follow a special process put in place by the Division of Financial Management for final approval by the Governor’s Office. All changes are strictly to consolidate information per the Red Tape Reduction Act. There will be no substantive changes.
Notice of Public Hearing Regarding Rules Reauthorization
Comments and feedback for these rules will be considered and can be submitted to the Commission Secretary Kamerron Monroe, via physical or email correspondence. Written comments will be accepted until 5:00pm on Friday, August 16th. There was public hearing for this rulemaking on August 6, 2019 at the new Industrial Commission Office located at 11321 W. Chinden Blvd. Boise, Idaho 83714. It was made available via videoconference at four Commission field offices across Idaho. The hearing Schedule and locations are below.
